No, Weed Does Not Make You Steal From Your Sister

Arguably the funniest part of The Simpsons last night was this Above The Influence PSA by Partnership For A Drug Free America, in which teens blame weed for crazy behavior like stealing from children and letting people write on your face. Whoever made this is getting weed mixed up with heroin. Or beer:

Anyone trying to make an anti-weed PSA should watch Harold And Kumar first: Marijuana Kills.

I sat around with a bunch of friends, laughing at stupid things, and then went to bed, with no negative repercussions whatsoever!

It seems like the anti-weed people are going out on thinner limbs all the time. I'm waiting for the "weed makes you a serial baby killer" ad.

They should advertise things people might care about , like "Marijuana may make eye contact uncomfortable", or "Weed will only make reading Gravity's Rainbow more difficult"

If they wanted to put the money it took to make this ad to good use maybe they should have done an anti-meth ad. All they would need to do is show Fergie's face without makeup for 30 seconds.

If they wanted to be accurate the kids would all be saying: "I watched a crappy movie from the mid 90s all the way through," "I laughed at my cat chasing a mirror's reflection on the carpet for over an hour!" and "I ate an unreasonable amount of corn chips."

This is just BS from the tobacco corporations. I still don't think I've seen an anti-weed commercial that makes any sense. Why aren't there anti-cocaine or anti-heroine PSA's?

What are you stealing from your little sister, anyway? Her pink beanbag chair?

Maybe the message isn't that weed makes you steal from your sister, but that weed makes you think stealing from your sister is kinda hilarious in retrospect. I mean look at the dude with doodles on his face. He is stoked as hell.

Wait its not funny to ditch your friends, and perform some type of middle finger gesture while driving by.

if i had a little sister i would definitely steal from her, and then throw my fecal matter at her forehead hoping to hit her in the eye, thus causing pink eye.

All of these things are something a drunk person would do. Drunk dial your ex 100 times? Get drawn on while passed out? Puh-lease.
